Best Lawyer Ever

Let me start off by saying, I had no prior assocation with this firm or did I get paid for for this review. But hey if they want to pay me after, I wont say no lol. But anyways just found them with a five star review online. As always I was procrastinating so I needed a lawyer quickly. But I did shop... around, they were not the cheapest but reasonably priced. Also the flat fee & flexable payment option had me in. So as soon I hired them, I was recieving emails which was my perfered choice of contact being busy with work. They took care of all the leg work. I would just give them the documents they requested and they took care of the rest. They kept me informed and let me know and make decisions every step of the way. I really felt like I had someone who was also looking out for me and not just their own agenda. They gave me options and advised me, but ultimately let me make my own decisions. At one point we thought we had an opportunity for a plea agreement. But the state did not want to be reasonable and would not make an agreement. I felt down about not wining plea but Roland encouraged me the war wasn't over and he was going to fight for me till the end. The final court hearing was upon us. Roland was there prompt and ready to go with portable computer and a notepad scattered with notes. I was surprised with the amount of information and fine details he had prepared to present. Once court started he jot it down every important detail that was said. He kepted the prosecutor on her toes objecting to any thing that was circumstantial or out of line. At one point he almost got the whole case thrown out because the state had submitted all the testimonies on the wrong day. The judge did not bite but he tired, that shows his experience and attention to detail. Roland was relentless every step of the way, fighting for me and never let up. Ultimately through Roland's hard work, perseverance and experience as a lawyer I was found not guilty of all my charges. Where else are you going to find someone who will fight this hard for you. I will tell you no where I have tired. I could not be happier with my decison to hire Roland & the R & R Law group. With that being said, Roland will be my lawyer all future matters and I will recommend him to any of my friends and family. So make the right choice and choose Roland.

Highly recommended! Best Attorney in Phoenix!

Roland helped me immensely with my case. I was hopeless about my case until I brought Roland on to help me. Not only did he get the whole case dismissed because of a small problem, but he was able to get a guarantee that the charges could not be brought back. My first attorney was helpful but not nea...rly as talented. He did not find the mistake in my case that officers did resulting a full dismissal for me. I am so glad I got a second opinion from this attorney! I highly, highly recommend this attorney!

"As a prosecutor I worked on several cases against Mr. Rillos. He was always passionate about achieving good results in his cases. He was able to convince me several times to either dismiss cases or offer a better deal. I also had the pleasure of trying a case against Mr. Rillos. Not only did he win the case, but he was up against very involved victims that actively participated in seeking a conviction and jail time. Ultimately he received a dismissal for his client and even convinced me during the trial that that was the right result. I highly recommend him."
